Software Engineering
We design, develop and ship all of Pelican's deliverable software products and many internal tools as well. This is where the rubber hits the road - bringing our computational camera processing to the Smart Phone platforms and operating system you know and love. Our knowledge is broad and deep covering optics and imaging through compiler optimization, hardware accelerators, and operating systems. We conceive, design, develop, port, accelerate and qualify. We support and create interfaces for customers, independent SW developers and end-users. Our cycle is fast and energetic - the results of your labor are quickly visible in our products.

Android Platform Software Engineer
Pelican Imaging is building the next leapfrog technology in computational imaging - with the potential to change every camera in the world.

Responsibilities
You are a software technical leader who loves solving impossible problems and have worked on multiple cutting edge technology development efforts.

You are interested in making a big impact in a wide-open application landscape for our new technology of real-time depth-enabled imaging. Comfortable with multiple environments, technologies, and delivery methods, you will architect, development, and work with internal and external developers to create cutting edge corporate and customer applications.

This team delivers high-quality production software to Smartphone OEMs. You will work closely with a highly skilled, multidisciplinary team of engineers.

Requirements
-- Love designing and implementing cutting edge embedded software products.
-- Solid programming skills and 5-10+ years experience in C++, Java object-oriented application and SDK development.
-- Significant experience with Android and other operating systems such as Linux, MacOSX, Windows.
-- Aggressive application optimization experience in networking, imaging, graphics, multimedia or similar, including
multi-threaded, background I/O, and innovative Uis.
-- Comfortable working at any level of abstraction from high level design on a desktop to low level tuning on an
embedded processor.
-- Passion for solving problems and identifying new ones to solve next.

Going beyond megapixels, the Pelican array camera provides complete depth information of the captured scene, allowing users to refocus after the fact and perform an unprecedented range of edits. Focus on any subject, change focus (even on multiple subjects) after you take the photo, capture linear measurements, scale and segment your images, change backgrounds, and apply filters, all from any device.
The Pelican camera architecture is designed with no moving parts, which enables the user to take an immediate first shot, followed by very rapid sucessive shots.

Pelican Imaging is headquartered in Mountain View, CA, and was founded in 2008; current investors include Qualcomm, Nokia Growth Partners, Globespan Capital Partners, Granite Ventures, InterWest Partners and IQT.
Pelican Imaging's advances in computational imaging have enabled a high-resolution light field camera in a mobile form factor.
At under 3mm thickness, Pelican's array camera is about 50 thinner than best-in-class current smartphone cameras. It is the first mobile plenoptic camera to capture video, 30 fps at 1080p resolution, and to capture still images at approximately 8 megapixels, with excellent image quality.
Pelican's technology has been featured in many press articles, including Forbes, MIT Technology Review, and the Huffington Post; read more about our recent coverage.
